Degrees

x = 14.47751 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 165.52248 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 sin^{2} (x) + 3 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Solve by substitution

4 sin^{2} (x) + 3 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

4 u^{2} + 3 u - 1 = 0

4 u^{2} + 3 u - 1 = 0 : u = \frac{1}{4}, u = - 1

4 u^{2} + 3 u - 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

4 u^{2} + 3 u - 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 4, b = 3, c = - 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 4 ( - 1 )}{2 \cdot 4}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 4 ( - 1 )}{2 \cdot 4}

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 4 (- 1) = 5

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 4 (- 1)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 3^{2} + 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 4 \cdot 1 = 16

= 3^{2} + 16

3^{2} = 9

= 9 + 16

Add the numbers:

9 + 16 = 25

= 25

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 5}{2 \cdot 4}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 4}, u_{2} = \frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 4}

u = \frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 4} : \frac{1}{4}

\frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 4}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 3 + 5 = 2

= \frac{2}{2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{2}{8}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{4}

u = \frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 4} : - 1

\frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 4}

Subtract the numbers:

- 3 - 5 = - 8

= \frac{- 8}{2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{- 8}{8}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{8}{8}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{1}{4}, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}, sin (x) = - 1

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}, sin (x) = - 1

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4} : x = arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}

General solutions for

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}

sin (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arcsin (a) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (a) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 1 : x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 1
